Abstract
We propose a new scheme to realize topological photonic states with low group velocity (vg) and zero group velocity dispersion (zero-GVD) based on a sandwiched photonic crystal (PC) waveguide, which are composed of finite sized PCs with different topological phases. In our proposed sandwiched heterostructure, two coupled topological edge states (CTESs) can be found, one of which can be applied to slow light by modifying the radii of the dielectric rods. The slow light characteristics of CTES, including zero-GVD, large average group index and normalized delay-bandwidth product, are discussed in detail based on finite element method (FEM) simulation. Besides, the robustness of CTES with slow light is verified, when introducing random disorders. Time-domain simulation results demonstrate the dispersionless transport of CETS in zero-GVD region. Our findings pave a way of topological slow light, enrich the topological PC research, and have new application in optical buffers and optical delay lines.
